The larger-than-life lippy!

Talk about long-lasting lipstick!

Currently at the Palais de Tokyo museum in Paris stands a sculpture made of 330 pounds of Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Number One Lipstick. Talk about amping up your beauty routine!

Part of Fabrice Hyber’s show called “Matières Premières” (Raw Materials in French), the piece is titled “1M3 de beauté” (one cubic meter of beauty in French).

“It’s a material that is very supple, lipstick, especially in a large quantity,” explained the artist to WWD. “The material permanently moves. It is a work that is never finished, which is always evolving. It’s a living oeuvre.”

The life-size lippy will be on display through January 7.
